  • The tough thing is Mac laptops are the best

    They’re not. I had a 2008 Unibody Macbook pro. In 2012 it literally fell apart. That was after 4 years of constantly hearing about recalls and fixes pushed by Apple for bad hardware fuckups.

    During a search to find a fix for the snapped display frame I came across Louis Rossman who showed in multiple teardowns how poorly made Macbooks are.

    It was a HUGE eye-opener. Macs are NOT well made. They have a fuck-ton of terrible design decisions.

    They look nice but they’re shit.

    E.g. my Lenovo P51 looks like a plasticy piece of shit. But I can pour a full bottle of water over the keyboard and drop it from head height but it will still work and will continue working for the next 15yrs+. Because it’s built to last.

    Even Apple doesn’t have confidence in it’s products forcing you to buy Apple Care to extend a warranty that other laptop manufacturers give you free. I think my P51 had a free 3 or 5yr warranty. My Macbook’s was 1yr.



  • Seiko are great watches. I have a couple of G-Shock watches and a Garmin heart rate monitor watch. The Garmin is kinda like a smart watch but more practical. It’s got all the sports stuff you’d ever need but GPS too. It makes for an excellent daily-driver watch.

    I find HRM watches to be very handy. I can tell from checking my heart rate whether I need to slow down my running speed. I can tell if I start running for something how long I’ll last by checking my heart rate. If it’s in the “anabolic zone” I’ll crap out in a few minutes. If it’s in the “aerobic zone” I’ll crap out when my body gives up.

    It’s also been handy for monitoring my general fitness. Resting heart rate, steps, floors travelled, etc. I recommend the Garmin Fenix if you ever wanna try out a ‘Smart watch’ again: https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/641479
